####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
Edit: wrong requestor
My first time on Noted. Please be gentle o_o
I've got 8 lined up, but 2 are kind of shoe-horned in:
- FLV Oriental
- FW Oriental
- EUR Orient Tobacco Black
- INW Classic Oriental
- INW Green Classic Oriental
- INW Tobacco Symphony (described by INW as having a "soft oriental taste, not too sweet")
​
And the 2 iffy flavors:
- FE Hongtashan (Hongtashan is a Chinese cigarette brand made with Flue Cured Yunnan Tobacco)
- RY4 Asian (No idea if it actually has any Asian/Turkish/Oriental tobacco relation)
​
u/ID10-T, what do you think? Include them, or no?
Hey, I tried to contact you on discord to add you to the semi-secret Noted room, is your username "Aycek" there?
Yes to the RY4 Asian because /u/isuamadog said so
Yes to the FE Hongtashan because why not
I would describe Tobacco Symphony as iffy as well, and also as tasting like dirty peanuts, but sure, that one too
Eur Orient tobacco black is straight up cedar wood absolutely love to use it as an accent. Very strong can pretty easily take over a recipe though. The first time I single flavor tested at 3% way to much imo was like vaping incense.
Sounds like my 4% tester is gonna be a blast to try out!
Um… I did?
Edit - ah, u/Sugarchoc did here.
KURI! You won the flavors! Er... Flavor. There's only one at BCF, TFA RY4 Asian. But you can have up to $20 worth of it, if you want.
> There's only one at BCF, TFA RY4 Asian
I saw that ☹️
It also has Furfuryl alcohol in it and on the avoid list. So not really sure if I’m comfortable vaping that. What do you think?
I’ll gladly opt for another Ry4 otherwise I don’t mind you offering it to someone else. Or lump it into the prize for this week’s Cocoa FOTW.
I have asked and asked and I still don’t know what oriental tobacco is. Tea? Ancient wisdom? Opium?
from Wikipedia . . .
>Oriental tobacco is a sun-cured, highly aromatic, small-leafed variety (Nicotiana tabacum) that is grown in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Lebanon, and North Macedonia. Oriental tobacco is frequently referred to as "Turkish tobacco," as these regions were all historically part of the Ottoman Empire.
Not sure if Turkish is Oriental.... It's the closest I have I believe.
Ingredient|% :---|---: Tobacco Morning (Flavor Revolution)|6.00 Turkish (FE)|4.00
Flavor total: 10%
This should really be here: Battle of the Baccos: Turkish vs Oriental
